tsShe is woman, therefore TO be wcoed;
She is woman, therefore to be won"

Where she was spending her vacation,
And much admired her form and face,
Likewise her sparkling conversation.
She was Boston girl, but wore
Not spectacles, nor google glasses,
Though Of learning had store
AS rich as other Boston lassies.
The maiden was of beauty rare.
cTis that, not learning, that doth sway

As Aphrodite she was fair,
Or Helen, spouse Of Menelaus,
But colder than Diana far,
Who made stag of poor Ac'e IN,
And distant as the farthest star
That glitters in the empyrean.
l loved her, and I think she knew
That much from my admiring glances,
Fer she, as our acquaintance grew,
Somewhat unbent to my advances. 4
But when my love would have told,
felt a dread, a terror seize me; @
I feared If became SO bold,
The maiden with look would freeze me.
At length q firm resolve made
For was bord'ring on distraction
That the proposal, long delayed,
Ia make, whate'er might be her action. .
And having thus made up my mind,
That evening when alone found her,
Before she my intent OWNED,
boldly threw my arms around her.

Their faint, sweet perfume thrilled my
senses;
I clasped her in my fond embrace,
Regardless of the consequences;

smotllsring the Kids.

Any one who was il early life re-
quired to work and improve the hours
not employed in school, and q reason,
able amount of recreation, is FREE
quently shocked at the idleness and ex-
trayagance Of the sons and daughters
Of the well-to-do residents Of our towns
and cities. A large number have no
employment or occupation, and would
be insulted II asked what they worked
at. When we see and think about
what is really being done, the injunc-
tions repeated by two Of the sacred
law-givers come forcibly to our mind;
s.Thou shalt not seethe the kid in the
milk of the dam" The hard-earned
money or rich Inheritance of kind and
loving parents is being used to
smother the genius, the energy and the
industry of the rising generation.
Many have been at loss to under
stand the practical application of this
peculiar restriction as given by Moses
in Elk. xiii, 10. and Deut. xiv, Fl.
The rich and natural product of the
dam shall not be used to boil, to
smother, to ruin, to dwarf, to enfeeble
or to seethe the kid. The life-sustain-
ing milk shall not be. used for an i'm
proper purpose--for an unnatural use
shall not be used for an object di-
rectly opposite to that for which it was
intended. Property is given through
industry and economy, to parents for a
high and holy purpose, and not for the
purpose of smothering in idleness and
aimless lives the precious Children
not to seethe the kids in. s,s
| Henry Clay was mill boy of the
the slashes of Virginia. He was man
of giant intellect-had in oratory no
superior--in courtesy and gentlemanly
bearing in all of his intercourse with
the world, was pattern OF suayity.
He had sons. They were raised in idle
ness, and they came to what would be
expected. They are dead, and that nc
BILE Kentucky family, equal to any in
4 American history. is blotted out of ex-
istence. And this is only sample of
the inevitable result of those families
who seethe the kids in the milk of the
dam. The descendants of the wealthy
senators, statesmen, eminent ministers,
&C., are seethed in the milk of human
and parental kindness, ready for the
table of the gambler, the bangnio of
the strange woman, the saloon of the
drunkard, and the grave of disgrace.
Far better to be son or daughter of a
plain, practical man, who trains his
children to honest labor, and inculcates
the true spirit of the injunction to eat
bread by the sweat of the face. Let no
poor, plodding boy at his daily employ
ment envy the sons Of his rich neigh
Dor, who spend their hours at base ball
and have dandy ponies to enliven their
sports, until they arrive at ripper years,
to 60 deeper into more engrossing and
degrading amusements. The child of
the plain, practical family, which earns
a living by honest industry. is seldom
in danger of being seethcd, boiled,
smothered or suppressed by the full
pockets of affiuence. State Register.

SPEAK THY THOUGHTS.

Shame upon thee, craven spiritt
Is 1t manly, just or brave,
Ii truth have shown within thee,
To conceal the light it gave?
Captive of the worlds opinion
Free to speak, bat yet slave?
All conviction should be valiant;
Tell the truth, If truth 1t be;
Never seek to stem its current ~
Thoughts, like rivers, find the sea;
1t will fitthe widening circle
OF eternal verify.
Speak thy thought, II thou beliey'st 1t,
Let it jostle whom 1t may,
Fen although the foolish scorn 1t,
Oh the obstinate gaiDsay-
Every seed that grows tomorrow
Lies beneath the clod to-day.
II your sires, the noble hearted
Pioneers of things to come,
Had, like thee been weak and timid,
Traitors to themselves and dumb,
Where would be our present knowledge?
Whefe the hoped millennium
Where would be triumphant science,
Searching with her fearless eyes,
Through the infinite creation ~
For the soul that underiies-
Soul of beauty, soul of goodness.
Wisdom of the earth and skies?
Where would be all great Inventions.
Each from bygone fancies born,
Issued first In doubt and darkness, Il
Launched mid apathy and scorns
How could noontime ever light US,
But for dawning of the morn?
Where would be our free opinion,

Louisville Courier-Journal: The be-
lief that the primeval Ohio man was
nine feet high is justified in the fact
that the. Ohio man of the present day
thinks there is nothing beyond his
reach.
HE CANT RIDE TWO HORSES.
Philadelphia Times: In addition to
being too much of socialist for people
who are not socialists, Henry George
seems to be enough of socialist to
suit socialists. A man who tried to
ride two horses going in opposite
directions once came to grief.

CHILD LABOR. I'D.

last resort of poverty. If the head Of
the family is able to earn living for
his family he will not permit his child

of every evil which menaces the repub,

moral turpitude, and a proneness tic

Good Advice,

DUBLIN, August 1S.-United ireland
urges landlords to embrace their las
chance, and confess that home rule is
inevitable. and advises them to appoint
a committee to meet Gladstone, Parnell
and Salisbury in round table confer
ence, and submit to them suggestions in
regard to their wishes, and to make the
best of the situation. The result will
be, it says, the election in a few weeks
of home rule house in the Commons,
and the opening of an Irish Parliament
in 1888. If landlords fraternized with
the National League instead of scream
ing to suppress it, they might influence
the structure of the Home Rule Parlia-
ment which will follow, whether land
lords like or dislike it.
